A 5-Year Deal With Microsoft To Dump Novell/SUSE 174
Nicholas Petreley writes, "Wake up little SUSE, wake up. No, that's not good enough. Wake up SUSE customers, wake up. Novell is jeopardizing the future of Linux for its own short-term rewards. If you want to see Linux flourish, let alone survive, after Novell's five year deal with Microsoft expires, I suggest we make an alternative five-year deal with Microsoft. In this case, our part of the deal is to spend the next five minutes, months, or years migrating away from every shred of Novell/SUSE software in our home, office, or enterprise."

"Novell's November 2 press release states that, "Novell will also make running royalty payments based on a percentage of its revenues from open source products." Are these payments for a patent license to Novell?"
Really be a question a lot of people made?
Then why is the question:
"Is this a trap?"
Not in there?
THe point is: the term "FAQ" is used too loosely these days. I bet there are better engrish words for this reports.

"Bad news sir, we need to uninstall SUSE right now and migrate all 30 boxes to another linux!"
"What? Why?"
"MS is bad and makes deals with Novel, if we keep SUSE our linux geek cred score will go down by MANY MANY points. We can't have that."

Perhaps the Linux mascot should be changed. Instead of a penguin, we could use a lemming.
